TL;DR

As a visionary Automation Engineer at Netflix’s Commerce Engineering team, you will own the end-to-end testing strategy and infrastructure for global payment and checkout experiences, leveraging 10+ years of engineering expertise to bridge complex backend microservices with diverse frontend interfaces. Your day-to-day involves architecting an AI-first quality platform that uses generative AI to predict failures before they occur, developing synthetic data solutions at scale, and designing tools to detect flaky tests automatically. You will also integrate test coverage data with runtime traces for comprehensive observability, collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to foster a reliability-first culture, and ensure seamless end-to-end testing integration across all engineering teams. The role requires deep experience with modern web automation tools like Playwright or Selenium, alongside proficiency in Java, JavaScript, Python, GraphQL, and GitHub Actions, among others, while navigating the complexities of global payments including local regulations and regional behaviors.
